Ah. THAT'S where I got the "replace the old chip" from. I see now. I
thought the radio's came with a socket but it was the wrong one(for the
chipswitch).

Well, it looks like I'll be going this route too. I pick mine(hr2510) up
today. I'm going to clean it up and check it out first and then have the
chipswitch installed later.

Well I could be completely wrong then...I thought you had to buy the
socket
and solder that on the board. Then, push the chip in....as seen he

Hmm...if you do a good job, maybe I'll let you do mine. LOL!!

Yeah, that link shows the socket. But you remove the old chip, and in it's
place you put the socket and plug the new chip into it. This also means
that
if you find that you need to put back the old chip, you can just unplug
the
chipswitch and plug in the old one without having to do any soldering.

Putting in the socket does require you to desolder the old chip and solder
in the new socket though.

PS: previous message said 62 pin socket...I meant to say 64.
